I am currently working on a script that will create a shortcut to the desktop and when clicked on, will prompt a user if they want to shut down. When I test my script, it just decides to run automatically. Is there a way I can maybe seperate the two functions (creating shortcut and prompting user for shutdown?).
Here is my code:
dim shellApp , answer
Set shellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set wshObject = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
desktopFolder = wshObject.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set myShortcut = wshObject.CreateShortcut(desktopFolder & "\\Shut Down.lnk" )
myShortcut.TargetPath ="C:\Users\Grant\Scripts\ChristianGrantProblem1.vbs"
myShortcut.Save()
answer = MsgBox("The Turn off Computer dialog will be opened, if you wish to shut down, continue.", 1 )
If answer = 1 then ' User clicked on OK
Initiate_Logoff()
End If
This vbscript can create a shortcut on your desktop asking you if you want to shutdown the computer or not.
Option Explicit
Dim MyScriptPath
MyScriptPath = WScript.ScriptFullName
Call Shortcut(MyScriptPath,"Shutdown the computer")
Call AskQuestion()
'**********************************************************************************************
Sub Shortcut(PathApplication,Name)
Dim objShell,DesktopPath,objShortCut,MyTab
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
MyTab = Split(PathApplication,"\")
If Name = "" Then
Name = MyTab(UBound(MyTab))
End if
DesktopPath = objShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set objShortCut = objShell.CreateShortcut(DesktopPath & "\" & Name & ".lnk")
objShortCut.TargetPath = Dblquote(PathApplication)
ObjShortCut.IconLocation = "%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,-28"
objShortCut.Save
End Sub

"If not, then click [NO] button"
Question = MsgBox (Msg,VbYesNo+VbQuestion,Title)
If Question = VbYes then
Call Run_Shutdown(30)
else
WScript.Quit()
End if
End Sub
'**********************************************************************************************

DblQuote = Chr(34) & Str & Chr(34)
End Function

Set ws = CreateObject("wscript.Shell")
Command = "Cmd /c Shutdown -s -t "& N &" -c "& DblQuote("Save your work because your PC will shut down in "& N &" seconds")
Execution = ws.run(Command,0,True)
End sub
